Tom : Gm
G A7 D G
Once long ago, all the faithful held a show
A7 C7
Down in Elvis Presley Boulevard on Memphis Radio
G A7 D G
Where the hopeless held a vigil and the nameless played the charts
A7 C7
Where the losers lost their sorrow and the lonely left their hearts
[Chorus]
Bb Am
Step on these shoes then I'll see you in hell
Dm7 G C G
"Love me so tender," I cry
Bb/F F
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel
C D
I'm so alone, I could die
[Verse 2]
G A7 D G
I took a ride with my baby by my side
A7 C7
Down to Elvis Presley Boulevard where all the faithful cried
G A7 D G
And I saw that silent mansion and I knew that I was lost
A7 C7
They were selling plastic souvenirs of Elvis on the cross
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Eb F7 Bb Eb Cm7 F7 Bb
Drive down that road tonight, everyone is gone
Eb F7 Gm7 Am7
D7#9 N.C.
No body's home but the light's always on
[Verse 3]
G A7 D G
Man I was beat, I was driven by the heat
A7 C7
Down to Elvis Presley Boulevard, a one-way dead end street
G A7 D G
And I smashed my car to pieces and I said goodbye to youth
A7 C7
I heard all the ugly rumors and I could not face the truth
[Solo]
Bb7 Am Dm G C G
[Chorus]
Bb/F F
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel

I'm so alone, I could die

Drive down that road tonight, everyone is gone

No body's home but the light's always on
[Outro]
